engine management light on

redjag · December 27, 2010

My engine management light has come on i checked it with the AA and they said it was a fuel glinch and as the car is

running okay not to worry they cancelled it out but after 20 miles it came on again, the car is a 2002 xtype 2.1 petrol

any ideas.

how many miles has the car done, has it been maintained by jaguar or an indie jag specialist?

A car of this age it could be a number of things the fuel filter (service part) could be the problem and would need to be replaced.

other issues are IMT valve gaskets worn (2x £6 replacements and 5 mins to replace)

spark plugs need replacment

MAF sensor replacement

breather for the Oil (over the rocker covers) could be leaking (common problem with the older smooth type) £20 replace as DIY

one of the sensors running out of tollerence and probs either needing a clean or re-program to bring into tollerance.

my guess would be Oil breather, IMT rings and fuel filter the latter being the hardest to do as a DIY job

without the Error code there is very little in way of help unless ure in the Aberdeenshire area then I could plug into ODB with either reader or IDS system.

Many thanks it was the breather pipe that had a hole in it, now fixed.

Hi, I'm new to the forum but I have this problem on my xtype '04 reg 2.1 V6. I have replaced the mass air flow sensor to no avail. I get an awful shuddering at 3k rpm. Any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks
